There have been no reported illnesses associated with the recall, and no other Fresh Express products have been recalled.
The recall was initiated after routine sampling conducted by the Florida Department of Agriculture revealed positive results for Listeria monocytogenes in randomly selected packages of spinach. Fresh Express immediately notified affected retailers and instructed them to remove the recalled products from their stores and all inventory.
If consumers keep recalled products in their refrigerators, they should discard them without consuming them. To receive a refund or for more information, consumers should call the Fresh Express Consumer Response Center at 800 242-5472. You can also get a refund if you purchase.
